When the Capitals played their first season in 1974-75 the team set an NHL record for futility, losing 67 of 80 games, and only winning one on the road. The team did not fare much better through the 1970s, and it was not until 1983 that the Caps made the playoffs for the first time, behind the explosive goal scoring of Dennis Maruk, Mike Gartner, and Bobby Carpenter. The team was swept in its first ever playoff appearance by the eventual Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders.

The 2005-2006 NHL season finds the Capitals where they ended: floating around the cellar of the Southeastern Division. This year finds the team with a new captain, Jeff Halpern, who has been on the team for five years, is a native of the D.C. area and has been a lifelong Capitals fan. Some notable additions to the team include able-scorer Jeff Friesen, NHL vet Andrew Cassels and defensive workhorse Jamie Heward. Yet no addition has been greater than Alexander Ovechkin, who is making a run to be the first Capital to win the Calder Trophy for Rookie of the Year. He's already worked his way into the record books by scoring at least one point (6G, 4A) in each of the Capitals' first eight games of the 2005-2006 season. The eight game point streak set the new NHL record for consecutive points to start an NHL career by a No. 1 overall pick.
